NCAAbbs - Best division in baseball

I think it's the NL East. IMO, the Braves, Marlins and Phillies can all win it. The Mets could make a wild-card run, too.

I agree. In order:

NL East
AL West
AL East
NL Central
NL West
AL Central

nah, here's the order

al east
al west
nl east
nl central
nl west
al central

It's between the NL and AL East IMO. Baltimore looks to be pretty decent this year and could make a run with the new additions they've made, they are in first place right now. Yankees and Red Sox will be there in the end, and I look for the Blue Jays to pick things up...

The NL East is going to be brutal this year also...

No one has said the NL Central is 1st but it is in this poll

If the Pirates and Reds continue to play like this, the NL Central will be very strong.

we're only like 3 weeks into the season. They'll fade eventually.

That's why I said if. Neither of them have the pitching to hang around, IMO.

Not the Reds, but the Pirates certainly have the pitching to hang around, and they will. Benson, Wells, and Perez are studs.

fogg is a good pitcher too. But i still don't think the pirates can hang around for that long. They have no hitting, and no bullpen.

When I say hang around, I mean in third or fourth place.

oh, i thought you meant something like second. my mistake. But, yeah, they can be 3rd or fourth. probably 4th.

Not tonight, 8 ER in one inning.

You cant diss the Reds without me in da house...LOL j/k

Yeah, but it's not likely Benson will be able to hold up for a full season. Perez has had some injuries, too.

NL or AL east! :D :rolleyes:

I say the NL East and the NL Central. Mainly because the divisions have teams that are evenly matched and will beat up on each other. The Marlins have been playing great so far this season, good chance to get revenge on the Braves this weekend :D

Most likely. But you never know if they can keep Griffey healthy.

The Red's will get it back.

3 straight in the L column...Should have won both Milwaukee games.

4 losses in a row now...

They are playing Houston, what did you expect?

IMO, The NL Central is the best division in MLB, because great players in Sosa, Clemens, Griffey, Pettite, and a few others, this division is alsso compettive, because the Champ haven't been determined until september

that's an awful way to determine a great division. Plus, Griffey is not a great player. The NL west is by no means the best division, but they have Bonds, Schmidt, Helton, Gagne, Sexson, Gonzo, Webb, Johnson, etc. See what i mean? All divisions have great players.

No division is decided before September.

Yea, I agree. And those aren't even the good players in this division anymore. Mark Prior, Albert Pujols, Kerry Wood, and as you said Clemens are the class of players in this division now,

if griffey is not a great player, then schmidt is not even a good player

Griffey has not been good in the past 4 years

Griffey's time came and went. He was an unbelievable player in the 90's, but since the turn of the century, he's been a big bust.

griffey is still a star, and when healthy capable of greatness

tysramm1 Wrote:griffey is still a star, and when healthy capable of greatness

what?!!! i'd expect that from someone who had a slave.

Griffey is not a star. I would take Kearns over Griffey right now.

tysramm, even when Griffey's been healthy this year he hasn't looked good. I think he's only hitting around .230.

Well Kearns is injured right now...So I would actually take Griffey

When they are both healthy, I would take Kearns.
